Authentication for Mac computers

Forcepoint Web Security solutions can be used to authenticate or identify Mac users for user- or group-based filtering. These restriction apply:

• Authentication and identification require that users belong to an Active Directory.
• Protocol block messages cannot be displayed on Macs.

If your organization uses DC Agent for transparent user identification, see Enabling transparent identification of Mac users with DC Agent.

If your organization uses Logon Agent for transparent user identification, see Deploying the logon application for Mac clients.

If your organization uses Content Gateway to authenticate users, see Authenticating Mac users with Content Gateway.

Manual (prompted) authentication can also be used to enable user and group-based filtering of Mac users.
